CHARLES BRIED ,--O F NEWARK, NEW JERSEY. Lam Patent No. 64,942, elated May 21, 186v.

IMPROVEMENT IN GARRIAGE-TRIMMINGS To ALL WHOM lT MAY oononnn:

Be it known that I, CHARLES BRIED, of the cityo f Newark, in-the countj of Esse'ii, and State of New Jersey, have invented or produced some new Trimmings for Poles, Thills, Bows, and Whittle-trees of Carriages and I do hereby declare the following to be afull and exact description of the same, reference being had herein to the drawings which accompany this specification, and make part of the same. i

The nature of my invention consists in manufacturing from the gum elast1cs"known as Indiarubber and gutta percha, or their'geompcunds, tubular sockets or sleeves to slip over and remain upon such parts of carriagepoles, thills, Whifile-trees, and bows, as it is desired to cover.

Figure 1 represents the pole of a carriage with a tubular piece of rubber, A, upon the part usually covered with leather; the rubber being prepared and shaped by the niethodscommonly known to the trade. The elasticity of the material allows of its b ing suificiently tight to keep itself in place, and also of its fitting various sizes of the wood. I

Figure 2 sho ws the thills with sockets or sleeves of gum-elastic near their ends, 13; a ring 0 and a ring with a loop, D, which loop is made part and parcel of the ring, its use being to support the trace and keep from the horses side. E shows a double sleeve, connected by a band formed upon and of the material of the sleeves or rings, one ring being put upon the cr0ss-bar a of the thills, and the other upon the whifile-tree, b. The cross-hands 0 being elastic, allow the necessary motion of the whifile-tree, and prevents the whifile-tree from turning when not used. End views on a larger scale are shown of the trace-loop D and the double sleeve or ring E, with the connections. ii Figure 3 shows a carriage t'op bow with a sleeve of gum-elastic, d, upon each side.-

I claim asa new article of manufacture, rubber or gutta-percha tubes, sleeves, or rings, or compounds of gum-elastics, when made and used in the forms and for the purposes herein above designated.

CHARLES BRIED.
